It's happened. Most of us have got the weather we deserve, which is sunny and warm with a vague cooling breeze. The way we pay for such blissful days is, of course, with the fact that the heatwave makes some parts of the UK unbearably hot, while others suffer thunderstorms and rain showers. You know what's great to wear in all of those types of weather? The best dresses you can find. More specifically, the best summer dresses you can find.

Thandi Maq in a Tove dress

Thankfully, designers have been banking on summer dresses for many seasons now, putting them front and centre of their collections in all their glorious forms. And they're still a best-seller, with some flying off the shelves in every colour and size. Take Tove's strapless dress, as seen on Thandi Maq who says: 'Never before have I wanted to own a dress in every single available colour way before this one.'

Whether you're looking for the best maxi dress for a summer wedding or the best slip dress for a night out with friends, there are summer dresses galore for 2023. There's an abundance of trends, too, rather than one to rule us all. And don't forget, even the best spring dresses can be taken into the summer months, too.

Alexa Chung in a Rodarte slip dress

From asymmetric hems at Prada, JW Anderson and Victoria Beckham to full skirted styles at Loewe and Alexander McQueen and lingerie-inspired slips at Rodarte and Christopher Kane, there's an eclectic mix of summer dresses this year. Many of them can be worn all year round, too, with the help of some canny layering. So, what are you waiting for?
